I was the buyer of this rifle and very happy with my purchase. Although the gun had not been fired in many years, I took it to the range with some factory 240 Federal and it was 8 for 8 on a 12 inch 50 yard plate with no malfunction. My plan is to totally strip, clean and re-assemble, strip and refinish the stock with Tru-oil and take it to the woods this fall. I know the purists would think a stock refinish is not a good idea but there are multiple scars, dents and scratches that will be fixed and the dark orange factory finish will give way to the original walnut.
